25.01.2022 It’s that time of year again. Please share our page around and help us raise some funds for a good cause.

25.01.2022 Watch the link in the comments. A bit of a eye opener of what is going on around the world

25.01.2022 Worth sharing as Spring is here!

23.01.2022 My son Hunter releasing a common tree snake away from our home. This one is a lot safer than the Eastern Small-Eyed snake he picked up a few months ago.

22.01.2022 The Red-Bellied Black Snake is my favourite of all the snakes in the world! (Pseudechis porphyriacus)

21.01.2022 A little Red-Bellied Black Snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) ready for relocating away from our local ambulance station. #myfavourite

20.01.2022 Another animal I saved from the fires. I didn’t see any other reptiles other than cane toads surviving. This little Desert tree frog (Litoria Rubella) now safely back in Deepwater Creek.

20.01.2022 Time to clear up around your houses and be aware. Snakes are on the move! Be safe and remember to call a professional snake catcher for removal and relocation if you see a snake, do not attempt to move it as this is when most bites occur.

16.01.2022 I got to remove and relocate a Papuan Whip Snake (Demansia papuensis) at work up in Weipa today. I didn’t have any catching gear to use, but made do with a laundry bag and some kitchen tongs. This snake was so fast into and out of the bag, I didn’t have to do much. I guess that’s why they call them a whip snake.

16.01.2022 Not a snake but a Green Tree Frog ‘Litoria caerulea’ safe at the fire station away from the fires in our area recently.

13.01.2022 This is the largest snake I have been called to remove and relocate even if it is in far North Queensland. This healthy Scrub Python (Simalia kinghorni) #discoverycoastsnakecatchers See if you can guess its size??

13.01.2022 Hahaha hahaha..... Classic

12.01.2022 Successful relocation today at Work in Weipa. https://www.qm.qld.gov.au//Common+and+d/Papuan+Whip+Snake

12.01.2022 Lesser Black Whipsnake release. GeeWiz they are fassst!! (Demansia vestigiata)

10.01.2022 With the warmer weather in full swing we've had quite a few call outs and people wanting id's. Thought it might be time to bring this one out again.

06.01.2022 Last week I was lucky enough to relocate this beautiful snake. One of my favourites species it is the red belly black snake. With about 8 species of black snakes this is the only one to bare live young. It is not as venomous as some of its other family members but still should be regarded as dangerous with only 1 recorded death in the last hundred years. If you are close to body’s of water there is a good chance you may come across one at some point of time as they love wet a...reas, as one of there main food sources are found there (frogs). They do eat other food source like lizards, mammals, birds. Also they have been know to eat fish as they are good swimmers. They have been known to stay under water for up to 30min. I believe they are a great species to have around the area as they arnt as dangerous as some of our other Elapids in the area and take a lot to provoke, you basically have to stand on one or catch or try killing it to provoke into biting. They are generally quick to retreat, if one was to be cornered like all snakes they will let you know by flattening themselves out and hissing loudly. This is there way of communicating with you and telling you to back off. These guys will cannibalise on other species even there own but other species will cannibalise on them as well. Having them around will decrease the food source in the area making it not viable for other species to hang around. The owners of the house called me to relocate it as they were unsure as to what it was as they could only see the belly which was white occasionally they can have white sides as well. Once they new what it was they were happy to relocate it nearby to keep it in the area. They are always black on top with red sides and belly can also be orange or white as I said before. There is another venomous species which is often confused with it as it has pinkish to red belly and flanks this is the small eyed snake. These are nocturnal species and shelters throughout the day. I have also captured red belly’s during the hot nights of summer. These are mainly terrestrial but I have captured one up in a tree looking for food. A lot of people believe venomous snakes don’t climb but the majority of them can just some are better than others. Hope you all enjoy the read Jason Brownscombe

03.01.2022 My first ‘King Brown’ (Pseudechis australis)

02.01.2022 Searching for snakes! Lol. Snakes are like magicians, if you take your eyes off them for 1 second they will be gone.

02.01.2022 This cheeky little brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) ate a beautiful Gouldian Finch and tried having a few more eggs for desert before it was discovered. Back in the bush for you!
